These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-03-05,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of Bill Psychs and are
used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see
my 2017-09-25 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
** Game 7, Round 9 Canadiana: Toronto film locations
Identify these places in Toronto that were used to film movies.
1. What well-known building on the University of Toronto campus was
used in "Mean Girls" for the Mathletes' championship where Cady,
played by Lindsay Lohan, won the game for her team?
2. What building near King and University hosted a key meeting
between Professor Charles Xavier and Magneto in "X-Men" to
discuss the future of human- and mutant-kind?
3. In "It" (2017), what famous heart-dropping ride at Centreville
featured in the family's slide show?
4. In "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World", Scott fights Lucas Lee, one
of his girlfriend's evil ex-boyfriends who is filming a movie
at what Toronto location that is popular for weddings?
5. In "A Christmas Story", Toronto is disguised as the fictional
US town of Hohman, Indiana. When the Parker family's Oldsmobile
gets a flat tire, Ralphie Parker's Old Man steps out onto a
bridge and famously drops the F-bomb. On what street in the
port lands is this bridge actually located?
6. In "Police Academy", what bar and music venue near Spadina and
College provided the all-important backdrop to a classic scene
at the fictional Blue Oyster bar?
7. In "Cocktail", when Tom Cruise and Bryan Brown's characters
dream of opening a bar of their own, the pair are working at the
fictional Cell Block bar. In one scene, Tom Cruise gets up on
the light-up bar to recite a poem to a bunch of trendy drinkers.
What building's interior, now lovingly restored as part of the
Bridgepoint Health complex, was the set for the Cell Block bar?
8. In "Suicide Squad", what famous Toronto street appears in
numerous fight scenes, with glimpses of the Zanzibar and an
Elephant & Castle visible in the background?
9. In "The Shape of Water", Elisa lives in a cluttered apartment
above a theater. The exterior of the Toronto theater is
recognizable from its distinctive red doors, but its neighbor,
the Eaton Centre, has been digitally removed. What theater
is it?
10. "American Psycho"'s creepy business-card scene was filmed
in what real-life office complex, which was designed by Mies
van der Rohe?
** Game 7, Round 10 - The Queen's Challenge Round
* A. Science - Queen Bee
A1. A queen bee can only develop from a larva by being fed a
special diet. All bee larvae receive some of this food,
but a queen larva is fed it exclusively. What is this
food called?
A2. The queen bee controls much of the behavior of the hive by
emitting a variety of chemicals. This class of chemicals
are also used for behavioral signaling in other species
as well. What are they called?
* B. Entertainment - Queen B
B1. Beyoncé began her solo career before the dissolution of
Destiny's Child. Her first solo album was released in 2003.
What was it called?
B2. As a solo artist and member of Destiny's Child, Beyoncé is
the most nominated woman in Grammy Award history with a
total of 62 nominations. Within 1, how many has she *won*?
* C. Literature - Ellery Queen
C1. "Ellery Queen" served as a joint pseudonym for two cousins,
as well as the name of the primary detective-hero they
created. During the 1930s and much of the 1940s, that hero
was possibly the best-known American fictional detective.
Name *either* of the two writers.
C2. Several other authors wrote books as "Ellery Queen" as
well, which were edited by the two cousins. "The Four
Johns", "The Madman Theory", and "A Room to Die In"
were written by an award-winning science-fiction author.
Under his own name, he wrote the "Dying Earth" series,
"Araminta Station", the "Lyonesse" trilogy, and "The Dragon
Masters". He was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall
of Fame in 2001. Name this author.
* D. Geography - The Queen's Residences
D1. This castle in the Cairngorms is privately owned by the
queen, not Crown property. It is one of her official
residences in Scotland. It is also home to the Royal
Lochnagar Distillery. She it typically visits it during
August and September. Name the castle.
D2. What is the Queen's official residence in Ottawa?
* E. History - Queen's Money
E1. To date there have been four different obverse portraits
of the Queen used on Canadian coinage. The first two of the
Queen's portraits were designed by the British Royal Mint,
and were similar to those used on other Commonwealth coinage.
The two later portraits were designed by Canadian artists
and are unique to Canadian coinage. Dora de Pedery-Hunt
did the first Canadian designed portrait. In what *year*
was it first used, within 2?
E2. In what year, exactly, did the first of the new plastic
Canadian bills -- or "polymer bank notes", as the Bank of
Canada would have it -- begin circulating?
* F. Canadiana - Queen's University
F1. Queen's University at Kingston was founded via royal charter
by Queen Victoria. Within 5, in what year was this?
F2. That charter was issued by Queen Victoria to which church?

I had an interesting experience on my recent visit in Canada. Crossing
the skybridge on the airport in Vancouver on the way to immigration,
I noticed two items lying on the floor. One was a CAD 5 note, which
certainly look authentic with plastic, metal string and all. The other
was labeled $10, but it looked more like monopoly money to me, and
I asked myself whether it could be authentic, and in such case still
be valid? (In Sweden we replace all bills and coins, with one exception,
recently in two rounds, and none of the old stuff is valid anymore.)
When I showed the suspicious bill to a Canadian friend he not only
confirmed that it was still legal tender, but he also quickly asked it
could trade it for a new $10 bill, since the old bill reminded him of
his youth.

learned that this is about to change. Currently the plan is to demonetize
only the denominations of paper money that are no longer issued --
namely the $1 bill, the $2 bill, the commemorative $25 bill of 1935, the
$500 bill last issued in 1935, and the $1,000 bill last issued in 2000--
but in the future they could decide to demonetize old series.

Ah, but how old was he? Here's the page about the change, which shows
all the styles of the withdrawn denominations:
http://www.bankofcanada.ca/banknotes/upcoming-changes-to-legal-tender-status-for-older-bank-notes/
There was one more style of paper money after those, after they came down
to the present 5 denominations but before they switched to plastic:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Canadian_bills2.jpg
So which stiyle of bill did you find?

In the original game this question said "in Canada", not "in Ottawa",
and the answer of the Quebec Citadel was accepted on protest.
It's easily confirmed online that that's a second official residence
of the G-G, but I was not able to confirm for certain whether it is
also one for the Queen. I decided to reword the question to duck
